In 2005's Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the boy wizard's life was changed when he witnessed the bodily return of Voldemort and the death of one of his schoolmates at the dark lord's hand. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix picks up where that tale left off, with Harry having terrible flashbacks of those events.

As Voldemort builds an army of evil followers in an attempt to return to power, “good” wizards reunite the Order of the Phoenix. Harry and his friends create a similar society at school, where Harry teaches the others to defend themselves against the dark arts.

This film, like other Potter movies, emphasizes loyalty and friendship. Harry's friends Ron and Hermione continually stick with him and stand up for him. In the end, Harry learns that it's the love and support of his friends-and his ability to love them back-that makes him victorious over Voldemort.

The language is slightly less offensive than in the previous film. And though there are several instances of disobedience, they happen when the kids disobey someone who is doing wrong. As Harry's battle with Voldemort increases, so does the movie's violence. But the biggest problem with this film is the clash of Potter's magic with the real-life truth that there is no such thing as a good witch or wizard. Magic may look appealing in the movies, but the Bible says no one should practice sorcery or witchcraft. True power and the ability to defeat evil comes from God.
